$99 One Way to Iceland
January 13, 2015
WOW Air is offering $99 one way flights to Iceland. These are not mistake fares. These are advertised fares from Boston and Baltimore (marketed as Washington, DC by WOW Air.)
WOW Air is a new Icelandic low cost carrier. It starts flying to Boston March 26 and Baltimore June 3.
Its $99 fare, and all of its tickets, just include a seat and up to 5 kg (11 pounds) in one carry on. Additional weight in your carry on, checked bags, and even seat selection increase the price.

Qantas First and Business Class Award Space to Australia
January 12, 2015
I wish Qantas released a ton of Business and First Class between the United States and Australia. Qantas flies directly from Los Angeles to Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane plus from Dallas to Sydney.
Flat Bed Award Space to Australia Every Day Next Summer
January 11, 2015
Booking First Class or Business to Australia can be extremely challenging.
United doesn't release Business Class Saver space on its 787-9 from Los Angeles to Melbourne and doesn't have First Class on the flight.
United does release some First and Business Class on its 777s from Los Angeles and San Francisco to Sydney. It has released none for November or December 2015.
Air Canada (bookable with United miles) releases some Business Class on its 777 from Vancouver to Sydney. It has released one day in December 2015.
Transatlantic Award: 13,125 Miles One Way All Summer Long
January 11, 2015
Virgin Atlantic is offering a 25% discount on economy awards to the United Kingdom booked by January 22. You can book awards even in the peak of summer for as low as 13,125 Virgin Atlantic miles each way.
You probably have Virgin Atlantic miles because Virgin Atlantic is a 1:1 transfer partner of Chase Ultimate Rewards, American Express Membership Rewards, and SPG Starpoints. Twenty-thousand Starpoints always transfer to 25,000 Virgin Atlantic miles.
